Bruce Feldman of The Athletic reports that former Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher is eager to return to his alma mater as head coach after being fired by Texas A&M in 2023. Fisher, who led Florida State to a national championship in 2013 with an 83-23 record and then oversaw the program's decline before leaving for Texas A&M, is viewed as a potential replacement for current coach Mike Norvell, whose job security has recently diminished. The article highlights that since Fisher left in 2017, Florida State’s performance has notably declined, with only three six-win seasons out of nine and no winning conference record until last year.

Story summary
Jimbo Fisher, who coached Florida State from 2010 to 2017, has expressed interest in returning as head coach after three years away. Under Fisher’s leadership, Florida State won the national championship in 2013 and had a conference record of 48-16 with an overall win-loss record of 83-23. However, since Fisher left for Texas A&M in 2017, the team has struggled, posting only three six-win seasons under coaches Willie Taggart and Mike Norvell, who is currently on shaky ground. The Seminoles started their season with a tough loss to SMU on home turf, highlighting ongoing challenges for the program. Fisher’s potential return could be seen as an attempt to revive Florida State's football fortunes after its downturn following his departure.
